I thought I would at least rebuild it more efficiently, with subdirectories for each author, which would speed things up. Somewhere around the time I reached 18,000 books I noticed a tremendous slowdown on transferring books to the tablet. When I first started using CC in December 2012 I never anticipated my library growing from under a 1,000 books to over 20,000 (95Gb), so I was using the default template in CC, which puts all the ebooks in a single directory. When I got home I thought I would take the opportunity to rebuild the entire Calibre Companion library on my android tablet (A Samsung Tab A 8” running Android Pie (9)).
But Calibre Companion was pretty much unusable since my backup was two years old (I will be much more diligent about backing it up going forward). I want to make it clear that I didn’t actually lose the ebooks themselves since, luckily, they were stored on an external SD card. One such app was veriFLY and another the Viking app (The trip was a cruise around the Aegean Sea). And had to load large PDFs of my test results on to my tablet. I had to free up space to install various apps to prove I was vaccinated AND recently tested. That is, other than to say, that COVID-19 was partially to blame. I won’t go into the details about A) Why I have that many ebooks on a tablet (I create ebooks for a living is the short answer) or B) How I accidently deleted my library. On a recent trip to Greece and Turkey I accidently deleted my 20,000+ Calibre Companion ebook library.
